Brake noise
I have a 2006 CLS with 15k miles on it. If I don't drive my car for a few days or after drivng in stop-n-go traffic, the brakes will squeal really loud. I checked my pad and all of them have more than 50% left on the pad. I did a search and found a TSB for brake noise, but this was for the W211, does anybody know if this will apply to the W219 too. Any help is appreciated.

Check the web for "bedding" techniques:
1. Perform four-repeated light to medium stops, from 65 to 10 mph, to bring the rotors to temperature.
2. Perform three light stops in succession. Perform eight heavy stops, back to back, at a point just pending wheel lock, from 65 mph to about 5 mph.
3. Drive for ten minutes to create cooling airflow, without using the brakes if at all possible.
4. Perform three light stops in succession. Perform eight heavy stops, back to back, at a point just pending wheel lock, from 65 mph
to about 5 mph.
5. Drive for ten minutes to create cooling airflow, without using the brakes if at all possible.
Additional Notes:
* Metallic brake pads – Metallic pads need high temperatures to keep the pad “Bedded”. If you drive the car for a period of time without using the brakes extensively, you may need to “Bed” the pads again. This is not a problem. Simply repeat the procedure.
Sounds a bit over-the-top but this is what http://www.baer.com/technical/brakin...padbedding.php
recommends. I would just be a bit more aggressive on your braking and see what happens.
